Salvaging a bunch of ancient Juggernaut war droids, Ignashevic studied their properties and their drawbacks. Building upon them and also tailoring it to the customer who wished it made, the founder was able to create the product as it is now. AP-41. A weapon that would be known for its destructive nature delivering punishment to even the most endurable targets. It was created solely for the purpose of wrecking havoc and tearing things apart. It was not created with complete lack of finesse and precision, the ability to use the weapon as a bludgeon also proved that point.
As most of his products, Ignashevic felt the need to add a 'card in the sleeve' by adding a bayonet at the end of the weapon, similar to an immense needle. To those more witty, it could also be coated with poison or whatever the wielder desires but that is not the tricky mechanism that the designer developed. It was actually the fact that this bayonet could be fired by a hidden trigger to the unsuspecting foe. Made out of duranium it is a very sturdy edge but could only pierce up to medium armor.
